This article discusses the basic principles of the use of structural membranes in the reconstruction of buildings and structures. Three principles of intervention in the existing architecture are described in detail. The first is to preserve the historical appearance and character of the building. The second is the scale of the new and old parts of the building. The third is the difference and the possibility of reorganizing new designs. The characteristics of the goals, the achievement of which each of these principles is directed, are given. Using the example of several buildings, we analyzed the use of textile membranes to achieve the main goals of reconstruction, described the positive and negative aspects of restoration using textile membranes. These buildings include: a church on a hill in Corbera d'Ebr, Spain (roof restoration), the central courtyard of the Palacio de Mineria, Mexico (creating coverage over a yard area), Salzburg residence, Austria (sliding roof). In conclusion, conclusions were made about the advantages of using membranes for the preservation of historical heritage and possible prospects for the development of fields of application of this design.

Red blood cells (RBC) roll like tractor caterpillars along narrow capillaries. On the erythrocyte surface there are charges that, when moving together with the erythrocyte membrane, create a magnetic field in the vicinity of the RBC. Discrete charges are distributed uniformly on the surface of the RBC, their number can reach several million and the charges move together with the RBC membrane. The surface of the RBC is approximated by a truncated cylinder. Discrete charges are located evenly over the surface of the RBC and move along closed curves that are rectangular trapezoids. A mathematical model has been constructed that allows calculating the intensity of the magnetic field produced by mobile charges located on the RBC membrane. According to the Bio-Savart law, the magnetic field strength can be calculated at some point in space if the coordinates and velocity of the charge are known, the distance from the charge to the point and the angle between the velocity vector and the radius vector connecting the charge and the point. If we assume in the first approximation that the medium is isotropic and magnetic currents are absent, then Maxwell's equations can be written out. These equations can be rewritten in the form of equations in finite differences, solving by numerical methods one can obtain distributions of electric and magnetic field strengths in the vicinity of the RBC. Calculations were carried out for different values of input parameters. In the case when the RBCs move through the capillary network, in which the narrow capillaries are located close to each other, the magnetic fields of the RBCs in different capillaries interact, and, as a result, we obtain a new distribution of the magnetic field strength in the vicinity of the capillary network, which varies with time.

This scientific study presents an analysis of organizational conflicts, as well as problematic aspects of activity in contemporary realities. The effect of organizational conflict on the effectiveness of an individual is shown. The urgency of researching the problem of the activities of the organization’s employees in the context of organizational conflicts, as well as ways to solve them, is given The analysis of the cognitive model. As factors used to reduce tensions in a team, it was proposed to introduce factors for raising qualifications and organizational culture. These factors will influence the target factor - performance. In the course of simulation modeling, it was found that by carrying out activities to improve the skills of employees, measures to increase the level of organizational culture of employees, the organization seeks to reduce tension in the team and, as a result, there is less staff turnover.

The problem of lateral buckling of a free-supported wooden strip with a constant narrow cross-section loaded with concentrated force in the middle of the span is considered. In the study of lateral buckling of the beam was used energy method. For the case of load application in the center of gravity, the problem is reduced to a generalized secular equation. The dependence between the value of the critical force and the position of the point of application of the load is obtained. A linear approximating function is chosen for this dependence. The results obtained by the authors are compared with the analytical solution using Bessel functions and the numerical iterative method.

The exposure of the Aires resonator to electromagnetic radiation with a frequency of 6 GHz is considered. The resonator is a silicon plate with a diameter of 7.4 mm with circular grooves applied by etching. The resulting resonator with a thickness of 0.5 mm contains 4084101 circles of various diameters, which in orthogonal cross sections represent rectangular slits 0.2 μm wide and 0.6 μm deep. It is assumed that the radiation source falls on the resonator evenly from all sides. Thus, we have a radiation source in the form of a hemisphere, the radius of which is substantially larger than the diameter of the resonator (10 m). The intensity of the incident radiation and the frequency of the radiation are assumed to be known. It is necessary to find: the intensity of the radiation at some point in space above the resonator. (Receiver). If the radiation falls on the resonator not in the slot, then a reflection occurs (the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection). If the radiation falls into the gap, then the reflection does not occur, and absorption occurs. It is assumed that radiation is diffracted on the slits. If you change the time with a certain step, you can calculate the intensity at any point of the receiver at any time. As a result of irradiation of the resonator over its central part, periodic radiation with frequencies of 6.85 GHz and 5.38 GHz is generated. At other frequencies, radiation is generated that is not periodic and is similar to chaotic radiation. The resonator can be considered as a converter of the incident periodic irradiation into other periodic radiations. These periodic emissions have frequencies that can be resonant for some molecules and parts of living organisms that make up the cells. By varying the depth and width of the slits on the resonator, the size of the resonator and other parameters, it is possible to obtain specific frequencies to which particular components of living cells are sensitive. This will allow targeted action on the cells of a living organism.
